The round table and switch from the IB&OR railway to the Victoria Railway was just behind the station. Not much showing now.Steve MandersThe Irondale, Bancroft and Ottawa Railway (IB&O) built between 1884 and reaching Bancroft in 1910.

The "V's" mark the edge of a heavy wooden wall forming a circle around the central pivot marked by "O" on the concrete pad. A couple of men could turn a locomotive around here to head off the opposite direction. This is lightly obstructed from the trail, 5 m. to the north side.Steve MandersHowland TurntableLarryC1
